Eagle Park and Cherry Top

Hotel/motel/B&B

If you’re not already in the know, these two places will convince you that sustainable living doesn’t need to be rough and ready. Eagle Park’s passive solar mudbrick house has all the comforts expected, without taking more than its share of the world’s energy supplies. There is an opulent marble bathroom, modern kitchen, polished floors and a spacious open-plan living area with beds curtained off. The farmstay property, which includes Cherry Top – another B&B – grows fantastic produce such as hazelnuts and blueberries, and you’re welcome to gather what you like from the gardens to create a dinner with zero food miles. Breakfast goodies are provided.
